"Logsdon charts the evolution of JFK's thinking about space "including repeated offers as president to cooperate with the Soviets "from his senatorial career up until the assassination. He chronicles the intergovernmental struggle for consensus and highlights the policymaking contributions of presidential aide Ted Sorensen, science advisor Jerome Wiesner, Vice President Lyndon Johnson and NASA administrator James Webb." "Kirkus "For the inside facts about JFK's instigation of the lunar missions, Logsdon, often seen in documentaries and television news about space, is the definitive authority." "Booklist"This is a must-read "a history-making look back in time that also provides a timeless tutorial about national vision-making, leadership, government and geopolitics, and creating a shared human experience." "The Coalition for Space Exploration "A comprehensive and insightful retrospect of the conception and early days of Project Apollo. Space aficionados will see immediate parallels between President Kennedy's thought processes and the space policy debates of today." "Neil Armstrong, Commander, Apollo 11 "In contrast to the hesitations, reconsiderations, and cancellations that have plagued recent U.S. activities in space, President John F. Kennedy's shining May 25, 1961, challenge to send humans to the Moon remains a beacon of national resolve. John M. Logsdon's review of the whole history of President Kennedy's civil space policy, especially events after the May 25 speech, reveals the special circumstances that kept the lunar goal on track. Hesitation arose, but Kennedy's pragmatism ultimately prevailed. Logsdon explains why. With this insightful analysis, Logsdon demonstrates again why he remains the dean of space policy historians." "Howard E. McCurdy, Professor of Public Policy, American University and University of Washington, and author ofSpace and the American Imagination "John Logsdon's book is a high quality scholarly work, deeply researched, but also an easy read. It is an insightful history of JFK's decision to use the space program and especially the Apollo lunar landing project as a rational Cold War response to the perceived 'missile gap' and the Soviet space challenges of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin's flight." "Bill Anders, Astronaut, Apollo 8, and Executive Secretary, National Aeronautics and Space Council, 1969-1972 "One of the definitive political histories of the quest to put a man on the Moon." "Matthew Brzezinski, author ofRed Moon Rising "John F. Kennedy and the Race to the Moonprovides a comprehensive, insider's account of one of the most important and far-reaching policy decisions of the Kennedy administration. It is a masterful case study of presidential decision making." " Professor Steven J. Wayne, Presidential Scholar, Georgetown University "An extraordinary book on the genesis of Project Apollo... Indeed, the first clear and definitive account of the pivotal role played by John F. Kennedy in shaping the American space program. How President Kennedy reached his fateful decision to enter the space race to reach the Moon is now told fully in an insightful and authoritative way."

Synopsis
While there are many biographies of John F. Kennedy and numerous accounts of the early years of US space efforts, there has to date been no comprehensive account of how the actions taken by JFK's administration have shaped the course of the US space program over the last 45 years. This book, based on primary source material and interviews with key participants, is such an account. It tells the story of how JFK, only four months in office, decided that the US national interest required the country to enter and win the space race by reaching the moon 'before this decade is out.' It traces the evolution of his thinking and policy up until his assassination, which brought to an end his plans to moderate the space program's goals and explore collaboration with the Soviets., While there are many biographies of JFK and accounts of the early years of US space efforts, this book uses primary source material and interviews with key participants to provide a comprehensive account of how the actions taken by JFK's administration have shaped the course of the US space program over the last 45 years., An eye-opening account timed for the 50th anniversary of JFK's "We choose to go to the moon" speech.
